My person, putted a lot of effort into making a forum multilingual. Its general not so interesting under smf users and developers.For the "own" place it was managed with lang-bbcs (put the under span tag) and make them view-able via membership. So people can see more languages. Maybe an inspiration.

My person guesses that in this case it runs under div-tag, right? Would it be possible to have such as a general selecting menu for the board, where on could select his prefered languages to view? It might be a lot of work to select for each post. How ever, it might be good if a post contains a visible info of avaliable languages and in the case one has not enabled a certain language, he/she could make it visible by click.

Or, even better, "just" making a dropdown under der board language drop down box for content language and let more languages be selectable. So it would remember on cookies either hidden or visible, I guess. Not much to do within the data base.

Would it be, is it welcome, or is an assuming to take and make use of you invention here? Especially to test.

Generally there are two things when using more languages. One is the selection of prefered languages (default is either good it setting all as default, to do not miss certain guests seeks) or by browsers setted language, if such is possible (btw: would be generally good if such is possible for the default board language, in regard of software side texts).The other thing is the layout and distinction of the various languages. On one hand, to make the read more confortable when enable more content languages and on the other, because different languages may have different scripts (size, line space...)

Read a little about the further developments and seems to be real great. One, sure not so easy to solve thing: the post-subject.While writting a topics name in two languages is mostly possible, starting with three is very limited.

(No need to make the post of mine visible, thought it might be useful imput. My Douglas be not to much confused by the question, just importand to be sure before: Is it welcome to try and use this mod for the buddhist community of monks on sangham.net?)

Sorry about replying so late to your messages. Have you looked at version 2.1? I made changes to it regarding "default languages" and such that would probably interest you.... I can add some of your other suggestions, as well....

You are welcome to use any mod that I have on any forum you have. I don't mind. In fact, that's why I made them: to be used!

Absolutly no problem, Douglas.Yes, my person had seen the changes in you discription and Sadhu! (confirming a skilful deed by "Excelent!") for you generosity and invitation.

It for my person needed to say, that he could not give back anything, living on alms and not accepting and using money.

My person will try to install it, not sure if should risk, since on smf 2.0.10, "only" a small tablet and very slow internet connection, as well as no real possibility to ask for support in cases of problems, at this times.

Let's see, in successful case and if possible, my person will give feedback.
